So yes despite all the wonderful things i will recount to you, they were in fact all less brilliant than they seem. Not that they will seem all that brilliant to you though, they were just good for me.
So saturday morning the christmas trees came out, the real ones. And so we went out early, like 8, to score the best one. Me and b looked at maybe 6 trees before we found the best tree ever! No joke this tree is perfect, the best we've had in years!! All the trees were taller than last year which is good cos i love my trees tall. This one is like, ok i dont know hight, but its at least a foot taller than dad, maybe a foot and a half, and he reackons hes round bout 6 feet. And it has a nice shape, like a perfect triangle all the way down, no sticky out branches or skimpy parts. Its a very healthy bushy tall tree, definitely the best ever!
So yeah we got it and set it up at home, where it looks ever huger, it takes up half the room! Then i had to go shopping for new decoations, cos obviously we would need alot cos its bigger than previous years. So me and b went out, and i found out there was a valley girl clearance outlet and gledale, oh happy days for me. Didnt spend too much time there, the lines were huge, i had other stuff to get and i was sickly and not even in the mood for shopping, so i only got two things. Went to golo and kmart for decorations and found out they pretty much had the same stuff. Neither had a decent star so we had to stik with our old one. Did get some new silver decorations and fake mistletoe and couple of new wall hangy things.
So we came home and i sorted out all our decorations, the skanky from the nice, the silver from the gold, detangled the beads, etc. And then me and b decorated and oh what fun was had! I love my tree! We spent like an hour on it i reckon, carefully placing each ornament perfectly. We always put the lights on last, which dad always does. And he did but they were kinda uneven so i attemptd to fix them up and ended up making a whole mess out of my perfect tree. Soooo angry at myself. So we took the lights off, i spent half an hour fixing it back up to the way i liked it, and then attempted the lights again. It all came together this time and was beautiful.
I love my tree its so pretty.
So yes after that i felt sick agian so pretty much slummed it for the rest of the day. Watched the santa clause which contributed the the christmassy feeling of the day.
Sunday i felt betterish so i decided to try and finish off my christmas shopping. I spent like two hours shopping, spent more than i meant to, and only got mel and simon presents and me some more scrapbooking stuff. But i love shopping and felt all of the spirit so i didnt really mind. I still need to get bill something and i have no idea what, he's such a pian to buy for. I need to get chinks present too, but at least i know what i'm getting him. Me and dad met up for lunch, he got even less than me. So i guess another shopping trip is in order. Maybe i'll go during the week sometime.
So yes i had a christmassy morning which was fun. I came home and started scrapbooking. Didnt get too far, only did my birthday and started organising my hil photos, but it was fun. And i worked last night. Found we're having a christmas party. I have to get another present and contribute something creative, and i have no idea for either of them.
This morning i slept in a bit which was nice. Woke up sicker than yesterday which wasnt so much. Started making the christmas tray for santa this morning, one of my favourite christmas traditions. Its all getting so close, its so nice.
And i guess that brings us up to now, where i'm just netting and checking out the forums. I havnt even watched that much veronica this weekend, i think only one episode. Maybe making it too jan 18th will be easier than i thought.
hnk lyl
